In Chicago It's Really A Case Of

I Like Working. I Wish I Could Say I Made A Deliberate Choice To Comedy, But It's Just What Came My Way. It's What The Studios Wanted To Make. Some Of My Friends Were Doing It, Like Will Ferrell And Adam Mckay, And They Offered Me 'talladega Nights.' It's Just Nice Work If You Can Get It. It's A Joyful Day At Work, Making Your Friends Laugh.

I Try To Take Things That Challenge Me Either Physically Or Mentally, Or I Have To Learn A New Skill.

In Chicago It's Really A Case Of The Play's The Thing - People Are Just So Happy To Be Acting, You Know? We Were All Actors - Not Like In New York Or Los Angeles, Where Everyone Says They Are Actors But They Are Actually Waiting Tables And Hustling For Spots In Commercials.

I Was Thinking Maybe About Being A Lawyer. I Realized I Was Interested In Becoming A Priest At One Point. I Was Just Interested In Stuff Where I Could Do Something I Really Believed In. And Then, I Realized If I Become An Actor, I Don't Have To Choose. I Get To Do Everything. It's Worked Out So Far. But What I Really Want To Do Is Direct.

There Are A Lot Of Actors In The World, There's A Small Number That Actually Get To Work As Actors, And There Is A Tiny Group Of Actors That Are Celebrated In The Way That I Have Been. I Feel Incredibly Lucky.
